Streets of Beijing:Walking along the ancient Qianmen Street 前门大街

Traditionally, the Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The Outer Court (外朝) or Front Court (前朝) includes the southern sections, and was used for ceremonial purposes. The Inner Court (内廷) or Back Palace (后宫) includes the northern sections, and was the residence of the Emperor and his family, and was used for day-to-day affairs of state. (The approximate dividing line shown as red dash in the plan above.) Generally, the Forbidden City has three vertical axes. The most important buildings are situated on the central north–south axis.
Entering from the Meridian Gate, one encounters a large square, pierced by the meandering Inner Golden Water River, which is crossed by five bridges. Beyond the square stands the Gate of Supreme Harmony (F). Behind that is the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square.[43] A three-tiered white marble terrace rises from this square. Three halls stand on top of this terrace, the focus of the palace complex. From the south, these are the Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿), the Hall of Central Harmony (中和殿), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony (保和殿).
The Hall of Supreme Harmony (G) is the largest, and rises some 30 metres (98 ft) above the level of the surrounding square. It is the ceremonial centre of imperial power, and the largest surviving wooden structure in China. It is nine bays wide and five bays deep, the numbers 9 and 5 being symbolically connected to the majesty of the Emperor.[45] Set into the ceiling at the centre of the hall is an intricate caisson decorated with a coiled dragon, from the mouth of which issues a chandelier-like set of metal balls, called the Xuanyuan Mirror. In the Ming dynasty, the Emperor held court here to discuss affairs of state. During the Qing dynasty, as Emperors held court far more frequently, a less ceremonious location was used instead, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony was only used for ceremonial purposes, such as coronations, investitures, and imperial weddings.
The Hall of Central Harmony is a smaller, square hall, used by the Emperor to prepare and rest before and during ceremonies.[48] Behind it, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, was used for rehearsing ceremonies, and was also the site of the final stage of the Imperial examination.[49] All three halls feature imperial thrones, the largest and most elaborate one being that in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.[50]
At the centre of the ramps leading up to the terraces from the northern and southern sides are ceremonial ramps, part of the Imperial Way, featuring elaborate and symbolic bas-relief carvings. The northern ramp, behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony, is carved from a single piece of stone 16.57 metres (54.4 ft) long, 3.07 metres (10.1 ft) wide, and 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) thick. It weighs some 200 tonnes and is the largest such carving in China.[12] The southern ramp, in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, is even longer, but is made from two stone slabs joined together – the joint was ingeniously hidden using overlapping bas-relief carvings, and was only discovered when weathering widened the gap in the 20th century.[51]
In the south west and south east of the Outer Court are the halls of Military Eminence (H) and Literary Glory (J). The former was used at various times for the Emperor to receive ministers and hold court, and later housed the Palace's own printing house. The latter was used for ceremonial lectures by highly regarded Confucian scholars, and later became the office of the Grand Secretariat. A copy of the Siku Quanshu was stored there. To the north-east are the Southern Three Places (南三所) (K), which was the residence of the Crown Prince.[43]
Back Three Palaces[edit]
At the centre of the Inner Court is another set of three halls (L). From the south, these are:
* Palace of Heavenly Purity (乾清宮)
* Hall of Union
* Palace of Earthly Tranquility
Western Six Palaces[edit]
* Palace of Eternal Longevity (永寿宫)
* Hall of the Supreme Principle (太极殿)
* Palace of Eternal Spring (长春宫)
* Palace of Earthly Honour (翊坤宫)
* Palace of Gathering Elegance (储秀宫)
* Palace of Universal Happiness (咸福宫)
* Palace of Benevolence Tranquility (慈宁宮 )
*
Eastern Six Palaces[edit]
* Palace of Great Benevolence (景仁宫)
* Palace of Heavenly Grace (承乾宫)
* Palace of Accumulated Purity (锺粹宫)
* Palace of Prolonged Happiness (延禧宫)
* Palace of Great Brilliance (景阳宫)
* Palace of Eternal Harmony (永和宫)
Beijing in Deep - Wangfujing Shopping
One of Beijings most luxurious shopping malls is the focus of Brendan and Davids attention today Wangfujing St.
Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing 2019 New Hotel in Beijing
This brand new Mandarin Oriental hotels is located in Wangfujing, one of the most famous shopping distract in China's capital, has opened its door for guests since March 2019. Overlooking the Forbidden City, one of the most historical landmarks in China, it offers guests one of the most prestige views in the capital. And with just 73 accommodations, this boutique property is small in size, but big in everything else. It is probably one the most recommended hotels in Beijing by far.
Once you move into the elevators and head up to the hotel, you’re greeted with a cozy, sun-drenched library with floor-to-ceiling shelves stocked with novelties and a total of 60 books covering a variety of crafts. Just past that you’ll find the property’s two restaurants and bar, all of which open out to the terrace with sweeping views of the Forbidden City. There’s Café Zi, the all-day dining establishment focusing on Asian cuisine that ranges from popular Thai dishes to Cantonese favorites, including dim sum offerings at lunch. Make sure to order the mushroom buns, which visually resemble shiitakes and are stuffed with an assortment of fungi. For a more buttoned-up affair, head over to the Adam Tihany–designed Mandarin Grill + Bar, which resembles a New York City steakhouse and has the fare to match it.
Mandarin Grill + Bar received an overall score 98 in total of 100. This video review was captured in May 2019.
Hope you enjoy watching this video. Leave your thoughts down below. Stay tuned for the next video.

We Went To The Fake Sneaker Capital Of China (HBO)
After the sun sets in Putian, thousands of bikes carrying fake sneakers hit the streets.
The lace-up black market is no secret in Putian, and it's where you can find Chan, a vendor with a knack for getting high-quality pairs off the streets and into the hands of hypebeasts on the other side of the globe.
With rubber, he struck gold.
I've spoken to some of our customers some of them are high school students some are college students university students. So yeah these are our main crowd you generally, Chan told VICE News. It's usually the kids themselves were very resourceful. They understand about replicas they understand that these are high-quality sneakers and they come finding you saying, hey I'd like to buy some high-quality replicas from you.
And while vendors are subject to police raids and potential lawsuits, Chan has been able to stay afloat. These days, the only thing slowing his business down is nitpicky sneakerheads.
Unfortunately, it's just the hard and fast rules of doing business. You meet difficult customers. You'll meet cheaters, you meet scammers who will be out there to cheat you off a pair of shoes, Chan said. So, unfortunately, this kind of thing happens, especially when you're on a public domain like the Internet.
VICE News met up with Chan at his headquarters to see how his business is racing ahead.
